Check the Dates

This is an easy one to do. Go to your pantry and look at the expiration dates on the items. Go, ahead, I’ll wait. Okay, how may expired items did you find? Probably a few. I just worked with someone who had mayo that expired three years ago, and ketchup that had turned a nice blood curdling dark red from four years ago-yum!! Here’s an easy way to keep track of older food items. As you shop, place the newer items in the back of the cabinet and bring the older items to the front. Of course, doing a periodic “date check” won’t hurt and could save you and your family from the ills of the 3-year-old mayo.

About Me

My photo
Washington, DC, United States
I am Dr. Darnita L. Payden, Executive Director/Owner of Dr. DClutter™ Life Management, a division of PreciousOnes™ LLC. I have a Ph.D. in Counseling Psychology and over 20 years of experience working to help clients discover their strengths and talents. Having worked as a therapist, college professor, grief specialist and trainer, I have encountered in my journey many of the issues my clients may face. I have a sincere desire to help you find clarity, organization and independence in your life and environments. I know that life can be hectic, but I desire to help my clients bring as much order, peace and enjoyment back into their lives as is possible. What separates me from the norm? I focus on the client from a holistic perspective. I realize that most people desire a functional and an organized life, but may simply need support, understanding and information about why they have the habits or tendencies that have led to disorganization. I do not perform “quick fixes” or provide “one-size-fits-all” guidance, but I strive to provide strategies to my clients that will be life changing and useful for a lifetime. Dr. DClutter™ is a name well earned!!
